- More Minimal has a couple of good posts on making your blog more readable and minimalism in blogging

Great links — I got lost in More Minimal — I love that site. And I’ll be referring to the site redesign article when I get to work a little later. I’ve been needing to do something about our redirects and error pages and there explanation made perfect sense to me.

@katiebird: I must still need coffee too, because I didn’t even notice your typo until you pointed it out. :)
